Barbie has quite an impressive resume. It’s amazing how a woman with 55 years of experience manages to look so young. With 150 jobs under her belt, she’s relatable to young women with different career goals.
Mattel recently introduced Entrepreneur Barbie. Armed with a smartphone, tablet and sophisticated purse, Entrepreneur Barbie is ready to tackle the same challenges as other women entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur Barbie loves social media too. She joined LinkedIn earlier this month and already has over 5,000 followers! Talk about building a network. Follow Barbie on LinkedIn for updates on her career.
As a mentor, Barbie encourages girls to dream big. To help young Canadians achieve their goals, Mattel has launched the Barbie Business Bursary. Canadians can nominate driven entrepreneurs under 18 to win a $2,500 prize. Visit www.barbie.com/mydreams to nominate someone you know before September 1.
